General

It is well known that after the discovery of fullerenes (1985) and carbon nanotubes (1991) so many scientific and engineering groups in the world have started to use these structures in order to modify the basic properties of the organic and inorganic...

This book is a practical and intermediate level handbook written to describe acoustic emission technique, focusing on the results obtained from different kinds of materials through an engineering point of view. Internal structural modifications of...

The notion dealt with in this volume of proceedings is often traced back to the late 19th-century writings of a rather obscure scientist, C. V. Burton. A probable reason for this is that the painstaking de ciphering of this author's paper in the...

Four years after a first meeting in BADDECK, Canada, on the Physics of Ion-Ion and Electron-Ion collisions, a second Nato Advanced Study Institute, in HAl~/Lesse, Belgium, reexamined the subject which had become almost a new one, in consideration of the...

The building explosion during the years 1945-1960 will inevitably lead to increased demolition in the next decades since the lifetime distribution of structures no longer fulfills its functional social requirements in an acceptable way. In the building...

Glass ceramics are a special group of materials in which a base glass can be crystallized under carefully controlled conditions, which in turn determine the properties of the material. These materials offer a wide range of physical and mechanical...

The first edition of this book, published in 1994, provided an exposition of the LAPW method and its relationship with other electronic structure approaches, especially Car-Parrinello based planewave methods. Since publication of that book, the LAPW...

This book discusses the synthesis, performance and applications of ceramic materials. Chapter One presents the recycling of biomass ashes in the obtaining of clay bricks for possible use as construction material. Chapter Two summarizes the use of...

This book describes the synthesis, properties and applications of PLA through fourteen original chapters that will guide the reader through a fascinating journey into the world of PLA, providing interesting insights for those who intend to use this...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted particular interest because they are predicted, and indeed observed, to have remarkable mechanical and other physical properties. The combination of these properties with very low densities suggests that CNTs are...

Fibre-reinforced composites have been used for more than 50 years and are still evolving in terms of material integrity, manufacturing process and its performance under adverse conditions. The advent of graphite fibres from polyacrylonitrile organic...

This book reviews recent results on ion synthesis by low energy implantation and optical properties of silver nanoparticles in various dielectrics, as well as the interaction of high power laser pulses with such composite materials. One of features of...

This book presents the tools of nanotechnology that can build, image, and manipulate nanostructures to build materials and devices. It bridges the gap between detailed technical publications that are beyond the grasp of non-specialists and popular...

This book examines the detailed study on the electrochemical oxidation and corrosion of metals (silver, copper and their alloys) in concentrated aqueous electrolytes solutions. The influence of electronegative (copper) and electropositive (palladium)...

Many important industrial objectives require the development of ceramics with specific properties. It is now established that the development of ceramics demands the control of their composition at the atomic scale, as well as the nanostructuration of...

Piezoelectric materials and composites and also the devices based on them have found wide applications in the modern technologies. This new book drives the reader from the concepts and ideas in this scientific area to theoretical, model and experimental...

The present book is the third book devoted to 75 anniversary of G E Zaikov's birth and 55 years of his creative activity. This new volume contains information about the plasticity structural analysis of polymer nanocomposites, filled by carbon nanotubes,...

This book presents and discusses research in the study of polymers. Topics discussed include extrusion heads used in manufacturing polymeric castings; effects of polypropylene fibres on expansion properties of cement-based composite containing waste...

The recent surge of interest in the nanotechnology has significant expanded the breadth and depth of nanostructured materials. The nanoscale grain size can facilitate important advances in the development of nanodevices and nanomedicine to reduce the...

Dimensionality plays a critical role in determining the properties of matter. The nanostructure of a material is the key factor in the development of novel properties and in controlling the structure at the nano-level. Nanotechnology is therefore a...

In the 20th century, the composite materials with polymer matrices, i.e. polymer matrix composites (PMC), became the engineering structural materials of choice because of low cost, ease of processing, weigh savings, corrosion resistance and other major...

This book presents and discusses current research in the study of the characterisation and development of novel materials. Topics discussed include the development of probabilistic simulation model for production optimisation in open pit mines; lead...

The results of observations and investigations of a new phenomenon -- changes in the macroscopic characteristics of the plastic deformation of metals and alloys at a superconducting transition -- are systematised. In these works it is shown for the first...

This book reviews the modern state-of-the-art of the central problem of advanced material sciences related to the electron-nuclear interaction in solids stressed on the basic problem of the mutual influence of the fast electronic fluctuations and of slow...

This book deals with polymers and composite materials, which is currently one of the fastest developing branches of science and practice, which merit close attention. The collection also contains several studies on low-molecular compounds allowing...

Classical fracture mechanics that emerged during the 1920s has gained popularity via LEFM from the 1940s to the 1960s. The principles of classical fracture mechanics evolved from experimental observation of the behaviour of glass that contains...

This book examines the latest research in carbon nanotube and nanocomposite applications. In a supercapacitor, the surface area of the electrodes accessible to the solvated electrolyte ions determines the capacitance; therefore, carbon materials with...
